Left alone in the library, the Maestro paced unsteadily up and down. "It is the sea that takes them!" he whispered. "It took my son; now it has taken one whom I loved as my son." He sank down upon the piano-stool and gazed at the sheet of music on the music-rack. It was Kirk's last exercise, written out carefully in the embossed type that the Maestro had been at such pains to learn and teach.
She kept her seat on the piano-stool, the centre of the group, as a queen of the ballet sits on a painted throne, flashing her eyes from one to the other, wheeling about to dash off an air from some unknown opera unknown to those who listened laying her lighted cigarette on the music-rack as she played, and whirling back again to tell some anecdote of the composer who wrote it, or some incident connected with its production in Vienna or Warsaw or St.
They came back to their small flats or attic room rejoicing to find all safe under a layer of dust shedding tears, some of them, when they saw the children's toys, which had been left in a litter on the floor, and the open piano with a song on the music-rack, which a girl had left as she rose in the middle of a bar, wavering off into a cry of fear, and all the domestic treasures which had been gathered through a life of toil and abandoned for ever it seemed when the enemy was reported within twenty miles of Paris in irresistible strength.
Upstage, burned a driftwood fire in a low hearth of rough bricks; Judge Tiffany sat there, in a spindle-backed chair, reading. Across a space broken only by a painting, a Japanese print or so, and more spindle-backed chairs, Eleanor and Kate had grouped themselves by the piano. Eleanor, turning the leaves on the music-rack, looked over her shoulder at him.
Holiday wishes to sing, Mother, said Vera, going to the music-rack. 'Nay I it's not me, Holiday began. "The Village Blacksmith", said Vera, pulling out the piece. Holiday advanced. Vera glanced at her mother. 'But I have not touched the piano for for years, I am sure, protested Beatrice. 'You can play beautifully, said Vera. Beatrice accompanied the song. Holiday sang atrociously.
Ennis did not move until she heard the street door close; she waited even a little longer, following the sound of Burnaby's footsteps as they died away into the night; finally she walked over to the piano, and, sitting down, raised her hands as if to strike the keys. Instead, she suddenly put both her arms on the little shelf before the music-rack and buried her head in them.
Entering, he found his uncle still seated before the organ, but with his head bent forward upon the music-rack, and apparently lost in deep thought, for he did not look up till Noll stood beside him. Trafford made a faint attempt to smile, and asked, "Could Hagar find you anything fit to eat? We can't live here as at Hastings. The sea brings us our food."
Crosby strode among them, looking neither to the left nor right, and touched Lieutenant Ranson upon the shoulder. "The colonel's orders, Lieutenant Ranson," he said. "You are under arrest." Ranson leaned back against the music-rack and placed his glass upon the keyboard. One leg was crossed over the other, and he did not remove it. "Then you can't take a joke," he said in a low tone.
"Wha-what's that?" asked Tom in alarm. "Fiddle," laughed Steve. "Wonder if it's Mr. Durkin." The wailing sounds ceased as Steve knocked and a voice called "Come in!" When they entered they saw a tall, lank youth standing in front of a music-rack close to the window. He held a violin to his chin and waved his bow in greeting. "Hi!" he said. "Sit down and I'll be right with you.
When the company went to supper Ole found on the leader's music-rack a concerto of Spohr's, and began to try it over. Carried away with the music, he forgot himself, and was discovered by Lundholm on his return, and scolded for his presumption. "What impudence!" said the violinist. "Perhaps you think you could play this at sight, boy?" "Yes," was the reply, "I think I could."
